During the inquiry, James highlighted the impact of the scandal on postmasters who were wrongly accused of theft and fraud due to errors in the Horizon system. She emphasized the need for accountability and transparency within the Post Office to prevent similar injustices from occurring in the future.
The testimony provided by Margot James underscores the importance of addressing systemic issues within institutions like the Post Office to ensure fairness and justice for all involved.
